I have my camera streaming through VLC using a separate (slower) computer because my iMac is too far from the window. I was curious if there was software that could take streaming video and watch it for motion (take shots/etc). The software can be win/lin/mac, just as long as it can keep an eye on the people wrecking my christmas lights outside!

A possible solution may be the Motion project (https://motion-project.github.io/). It grabs and analyzes video from v4l-devices and RTSP streams, with the ability to save both image snapshots and grab video if motion is detected. Supports multiple cameras with a reasonably low impact on system load.

VLC has a motion detect video filter. Its under Preferences->All->Video->Filters

Take a look at zoneminder. Its a more compex solution, but has motion detection.
